SHAMPOOKIN Gr APPARATUS.

Application filed September 2, 1919.

T0 all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, ANTHONY NAINKA, aV citizen of the United States, residing at Janesville, in the county of Rock and State of Visconsin, have invented a new and useful Shampooing Apparatus7 of which the following is a speciication.

The present invention relates to shampooing chairs; its principal object being to provide a chair wherein a person may conveniently recline while being shampooed.

Still another object of the invention resides in a provision of a chair which will enable a person to recline while being shampooed or having the head otherwise treated, and which will prevent the person from becoming wet other than the parts being treated.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a chair of this type which embodies a bowl or receptacle which underlies the persons head so as to catch the water while the persons head is being shampooed or washed.

Another object of the invention is to provide a reclining shampooing chair having a basin or bowl associated therewith together with a head rest that may be swung to a position to one side of the bowl when not in use and which may be locked in position over the bowl or basin.

Another object of the invention resides `in the provision of a chair of this character which is provided with reservoirs for containing the water, adapted to be conducted to a basin or bowl at the upper end of the chair, the construction being such as to facilitate the shampooing operation and to overcome the disadvantage of the person going to a wash basin to perform the rinsing operation.

Another general obj ect of the invention is to provide a shampooing apparatus having the above characteristics which is simple in construction, which consists of few parts, and which may be manufactured and sold at minimum cost.

Vith the above and other objects and advantages in mind, the invention consists of the combinations of elements, constructions and arrangements of parts, -operations and general assemblage, all of which will be hereinafter enlarged upon and set forth in Specification of Letters Patent.

serial No. 321,091.

the appended claims, the invention being illustrated in the attached drawings, where- 1n:-

Figure 1, is a side elevation of a shampooing chair constructed in accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2, is a plan view 'of the same;

Figs. 3 and 4, are detail views of the head rest lock.

Referring to the drawing wherein like characters of reference designate like parts in all the views the numeral 5 designates-a standard or base upon which the chair 1() is mounted. The chair is of the reclining' type and is capable of angular adjustment.

A plurality of parallel guide bars 11 eX- tend from the chair 10 and mounted for vertical movement thereon are tanks or reservoirs 12. Flexible elements 13 are attached to the tanks and are engaged with pulleys 14 at the upper ends of the guides and are fastened as at 15. These tanks when filled are raised to the upper ends of the guides so that they willrbe out of the way. Then it is desired to replenish the supply of water these tanks are lowered by means of the flexible elements 13. Rubber conduits 16 lead from the tanks 1Q and communicate with a discharge tube 17. Vhile (not shown) any type of spray or head may be ass-ociated with the tube 17.

A basin or bowl 18 is employed which is supported on a Y-shaped bracket 19 mounted for vertical adjustment in guides 2O on the back of the chain 10. One leg of the Y shaped member underlies the basin and terminates in a. hook 19 for supporting the discharge tube 17 when not in use.

The forward wall of the basin or bowl is cut away as at 21 to accommodate the persons neck and is padded with any desirable material. Guide flanges 21 are arranged at opposite sides of the bowl at the forward end thereof in which a shield or protector 22 is removably mounted, the protector 22 being slidable between the guide ianges 21 to permit the same to be secured to the bowl. The inner edge of the protector 22 is cut out as at Q3 to loosely receive the persons neck.

From the foregoing it is obvious that the protector 22, may be positioned in the lianges 21, when a person has been properly positioned in the chair, the cut out portion of the protector 22 encircling the forward portion of the neckot the person, the body portion thereof extending over the collar or front portion of the apparel of the person, thus protecting the person from the water and soap, which usually drips onto the persons clothing.

An outstanding ear 23 is disposed at one side of the forward wall of the basin and is provided with aninclined trackway 24 and a lug receiving opening` 25 at the highest point of the trackway. A head rest is designated at 26 and is supported on a pair of divergent rods 26', one oi which is supported for pivotal movement in the ear 23. The shield 22 is positioned between the flanges 21, whereby the shield 22 is removably supported on the bowl 18. An outstandinglug` 27 is carried by one'ot the rods and is movable over the trackway 2-l and adapted to engage in the opening,` 25 therein to retain the head rest against movement over the basin. The opposite end of the ear 23 extends laterally and constitutes a stop 28 adapted to be engaged by the lug,` 27 on the head rest when the latter is swung to one side of the basin.

From the disclosure it will be apparent that the head rest overlies the bowl 18 and that the persons head rests thereon with the neck disposed in the cut out parts of the basin and shield. lt will also be obvious that owing tothe height of the tank the water will flow therefrom with suiiicient pressure.

This embodiment of the invention is illustrative only and it will be understood that the same may be modified in many respects and that such limits of modiication are only governed by what is claimed.

l/Vhat is claimed is:

l. ln a shampooing apparatus, a chair, a bowl mounted thereon and having its edge cut out to receive'the persons neck, a head rest hingedly connected to the bowl and capablero being disposed over the bowl or to one side thereof, and a removable protector plate to be disposed in the forward end ot the bowl.

2, in ashampooing apparatus, a chair, a basin supported thereon, an outstanding ear carried by the basin having,` one face thereof inclined and provided with a lug receiving recess at the highest point of the inclined tace, a head r includino' supporting rod haring one end rotatably mounted inthe lug` upon swinging' the head rest in the reverse direction.

3. ln a shampooingl apparatus, a chair, a bowl supported adjacent the chair, said bowl having a cut outportion in the forward portion thereof, a removable protector
